🔧 BUILD Boostie's Dust Collecting Unicorn.... 04 Cobra

General Information

Figured I would share with you guys my build so far. This car has brought me through hell and back and slowly getting it to my liking. Originally the car had a lot of weird and show type stuff like air ride and Tv's about everywhere you could look and was lacking in power. I have removed a LOT and changed+ added quite a bit. Wanted to build this car as a quick street car so performance wise I am pretty much done. Still need some suspension tweeking and minor details changed.

When I first bought it, the car had black chrome Saleen wheels, but I think you may be thinking of one of my original sets were 19" I-Forged Aero wheels

I didnt like the donk look and about 5 sets later I got 18" True forged mach 5's which are very similar

Those are it i do recall they had rubber band as tires. But they looked great

They wheels look good. Did you apply any protective coating to them?
I will be ceramic coating the faces tonight and then the barrels after the tires are mounted tomorrow. I have read that some people have had wheel weights not stick after the coating is applied so I would rather wait to be safe.

If anyone is looking to get wheels polished I can send you the contact info for the guy I used. I am thinking of having him strip the anodizing off the rear S71's for this car and having them polished to match.

It probably won’t be to your liking might as well get any color and have it painted.
I have considered that as well if the right deal came up. I am 100% not a hoarder of stock stuff, but I know things like OEM seats/hood will be harder to find as time goes on. This car came with a stock style carbon fiber hood when I bought it so there wasn't much attachment to it. As time has gone on though I feel like I should have one hanging on the wall just in case
